Pipes are the most delicate components in any process plant, they are also the busiest entities. Piping Systems are subjected to almost all kinds of loads, intentional or unintentional. It is very important to take note of all potential loads that a piping system would encounter during operation as well as during other stages in […]

Assuming that the analysis shown in the picture is correct (which it is), the wall thickness of a piping system under internal pressure is a relationship of its internal radius, the internal pressure and the values of the axial and hoop stresses induced according to the material selected. Let’s break this down. Design Conditions An […]
